I hit your inbox.

I'd gladly take the case for any FL bitcoiners. They should bear this cost.

This is tragic. I'm sorry to hear this.

I wonder if Coinkite carries general liability insurance? If not, their assets are the limit, but who knows. Ideally they settle out of court. In everyone's best interest.

For anyone affected and living in Florida, I am happy to discuss options with you and help you determine the next steps.

Not sure how it works in Canada, but in US Bankr. You can file a claim in bankruptcy without first suing and getting a judgment.

Oh they definitely are.

I smell a class action lawsuit

Freezing is one thing, but selling the Bitcoin is pretty wild.

It's a huge problem. Suppose you make it out innocent, the state has still sucked you dry.

I had this funny (maybe?) epiphany while studying for the bar, that if someone were to threaten to put you in a cage unless you signed a contract, it would be void because it was formed under duress, but when the government does it we call it a plead bargain.
